In case you weren't aware, Symantec VIP is just TOTP-OATH in a fancy coat. You can extract the secret and use it with any TOTP app. I use Authenticator Pro (now called Stratum) because it's open-source and has a watch app.

Do you know how to extract it?

I have this bookmarked from a few years ago, back when PayPal only supported Symantec VIP: https://gist.github.com/jarbro/ca7c9d3eebba1396d53b4a7228575948. I haven't tried it for a while, but it should still work.
